Thame is a small market town to the East of the county. There has been a market in Thame every Tuesday since 1230 and Thame holds an annual one day agricultural show every Autumn which is one of the largest in the county. Historically the town's main industry has been agriculture but since the start of the 19th century it has expanded exponentially and today's 10,000 + population are employed in a wide range of professions. Many work in London as the Haddenham and Thame Parkway railway station just over the Buckinghamshire boarder is a great commuter route into the capital. The building pictured in the middle of Upper High Street was built in the early part of the 19th centaury by the Countess of Huntingdon Chapel. It is the only one of its kind in existence and is now home to the Citizens Advice Bureaux and the Tourist Information Centre. Websites: South Oxfordshire District Council Thame.net | | |
